Behind The Training With LombardMMA and Penn State Football All-American, Anthony Zettel

Anthony Zettel has been doing off-season MMAFx (Mixed Martial Arts/Football Cross Training) training with Coach Lombard since 2013. The LombardMMA football cross training system helps to develop Defensive and Offensive lineman's practical physical skills as a football player in the trenches.

"This off-season training translates perfectly to the football field. For a lineman, whoever has the best hands is going to win the battle." - Anthony Zettel

Zettel has been an avid fan of mixed martial arts most of his life, and now a practitioner of the sport. He started with Coach Lombard three years ago not only to help with his football play, but to potentially consider a future in MMA after football.
